Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closable spout of a container comprising a pouring tube that is open at the top and forms a pouring passage, with a closure cap being screwed on the outside thread with its internal thread screwed, wherein a sealing stopper that closes the pouring passage is inserted into the pouring passage of the pouring tube, so that it is vertically movable and is held on the cap in such a way that unscrewing the cap causes the sealing stopper to be raised.
  • Such a spout is known from DE 10 2008 034 595 A1.
  • the sealing stopper forms a drinking tube that can be raised by the closure cap and has openings at the side, so that after the drinking tube has been raised, it can be held in one's mouth to allow the liquid in the container to flow into one's mouth, in particular to suck it out.
  • This known design has a tamper-indicating ring beneath the closure cap, such that it is broken open when the closure cap is unscrewed. The tamper-indicating ring is difficult to see due to its position beneath the closure cap, so that it is not always possible to ascertain immediately whether the closure has already been opened. When the closure cap is twisted off, the drinking tube can be rotated, so that it is impossible to achieve an absolutely secure seal.
  • the object of the invention is to improve upon a spout of the type defined in the introduction, so that a tamper-proof seal with good visibility is obtained with a simple design and a few parts while maintaining a good seal and simple handling.
  • the tamper-proof part on the top side of the cap is arranged, so that it is readily visible, so it is especially easy to recognize whether the closure has already been opened. Furthermore, this achieves a good seal with a simple design and ease of handling.
  • FIG. 1 is a vertical axial section through the spout/closure
  • FIG. 2 is a section according to line II-II in FIG. 1 in a perspective diagram
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the entire spout/closure.
  • a plastic spout 1 has a cylindrical pouring tube 2 that is integrally welded on a welded-on part 15 at its lower end whose exterior is formed like a small boat in that the two exterior sides of the welded-on part are outwardly convex and taper to a point at both ends.
  • the welded-on part 15 is welded between the walls of a bag with these exterior sides.
  • the pouring tube 2 forms an substantially cylindrical pouring passage 17 that extends over the entire length of the pouring connection and the welded-on part 15 and is inserted in a form-fitting manner into a substantially cylindrical sealing stopper 6 .
  • the sealing stopper 6 ends in an outwardly projecting flange and/or annular extension 13 at the top.
  • a closure cap 4 is unscrewed from the pouring tube 2 from above. To do so, the pouring tube 2 has an external thread 3 fitting with an internal thread 5 .
  • the cap 4 is open at the top and thus forms an upper opening 8 with a partially annular coaxial recess 11 in which the widened portion or flange 13 fits complementarily.
  • a coaxial inner ring 13 formed on an inner surface of the cap 4 engages underneath the widened portion 13 so that, when the cap 4 is unscrewed, it pulls the sealing stopper 6 upward.
  • a coaxial ring 19 projecting inward from an outer surface of the sealing stopper 6 engages the inside ring 18 from underneath on its lower face so that the sealing stopper 6 is held in the cap 4 and cannot be lost.
  • the sealing stopper 6 is guided without rotation in the pouring passage 17 of the pouring tube 2 by axially parallel ridges 16 on the outside of the sealing stopper 6 engaging into complementary parallel grooves 20 of the pouring tube 2 and/or of the inner passage of the welded-on part 15 d .
  • the sealing stopper 6 is also raised without rotating.
  • the sealing stopper 6 extends to the lower end of the welded-on part 15 , forming a lower wall 14 sealing the hollow stopper there. This lower end of the sealing stopper is connected to a film 9 that is attached to the lower end of the welded-on part to close the pouring passage 17 .
  • the film 9 tears when the sealing stopper is raised.
  • the film 9 is preferably made of a film laminate with an aluminum layer that is in the middle or on back face of the laminate so that the aluminum layer cannot come into direct contact with the product bottled in the container.
  • the sealing cap 4 has the upper opening 8 into which the sealing stopper 6 is inserted at its upper end to close the opening.
  • the upper end of the sealing stopper 6 here has at least one tamper-indicating part 7 that breaks off or breaks open when the cap 4 is unscrewed relative to the sealing stopper that is held against rotation.
  • This tamper-indicating part is formed by a partial flange 7 of the sealing stopper 6 that is inserted into an annular or partly annular recess 11 in the upper inner edge of the cap 4 .
  • the flange 7 forming the tamper-indicating seal is connected to the flange 13 of the sealing stopper 6 by a bridge 12 that can be broken or torn. If the cap 4 is twisted relative to the widened portion 13 that is held against rotation, then a projection on the inside of the upper opening 8 of the cap abuts against the tamper-indicating widened portion 7 , so that the widened portion 7 is bent to the extent that the bridge 12 breaks off or tears. Therefore, on the top side of the cap 4 , one can see whether the spout has already been opened or is still unused.
  • the spout is not integrally welded on a welded-on part but instead is attached to a rigid plastic container, in particular a plastic bottle.
